The U.S. Army has successfully conducted an operational test of the Spike Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) missile on an AH-64 Apache helicopter. This marks a major step toward integrating the long-range precision weapon into frontline attack aviation.

Boeing has published its production and delivery figures for 2025, confirming the handover of 127 military aircraft across several platforms. The deliveries covered helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft for the U.S. armed forces as well as selected export customers.

 

The largest share of deliveries comprised AH-64E Apache attack helicopters, with 61 aircraft handed over during the year. These included 19 newly built helicopters and 42 remanufactured from earlier versions, delivered to the U.S. Army and export customers via Foreign Military Sales and Direct Commercial Sales procedures.

Boeing also delivered 14 CH-47 Chinook helicopters, consisting of three new-build aircraft and 11 modernised machines, for U.S. and international operators. In addition, six MH-139A Grey Wolf helicopters were delivered to the U.S. Air Force.

 

 

Fixed-wing deliveries included nine F-15EX Eagle multirole fighters and 14 F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, all supplied to U.S. armed forces. The production lines also delivered 14 KC-46A Pegasus aerial refuelling aircraft and six P-8A Poseidon land-based maritime patrol aircraft.

The official delivery figures did not include any T-7A Red Hawk advanced trainer aircraft. The T-7A is expected to become one of Boeing’s key military products in the coming years.
